Sticking with a trend here, when I saw this week’s photo challenge I knew what I had to show you.
In the eleven years that I’ve worked with the Truck Safety Coalition I’ve learned a lot about big trucks. But perhaps the most important thing I’ve learned is that as a driver in a passenger car we all need to stay vigilant. Put your phones away. Stay focused.
Don’t do stupid things like cut in front of trucks, pass on the right side of trucks, or take very long to pass them on the left. Don’t tailgate them, they can’t see you back there, and you can’t see ahead. Stay as far away from big trucks as you can. And try not to be the last car in a line of cars stopped in traffic.
My message this week is the same as it is every single day.
Be careful around big trucks.

Good reminder, Dawn. I hate looking into my rear view mirror and seeing a big ole grill camped there!

Must admit I had a few nasty words at a truck today – full of gravel with the tail gate down – as it went round the corner gravel poured out the back. Luckily I was stayed far enough back fearing that would happen and I was right !
